Chapter 68: Seven-Star Soul-Extinguishing Claw!
Given Ye Fan’s personality, when Liu Qingyang had acted arrogantly at the Su family banquet earlier, Ye Fan would normally have killed him on the spot!
The reason he had allowed Liu Qingyang to live was simply because he wanted to investigate some of the truth from him.
He wanted to follow the clues and find the real culprit behind the destruction of the Ye family!
The Zhao family, the Li family, and Qin Tao, the representative sent by the Liu family, were all at a lower level. The information they knew was extremely limited.
Liu Qingyang, on the other hand, had come directly together with that big figure from the Northwest War Zone, so he should know much more.
“Hmph! Ye Fan, do you really think that just because you’ve awakened, you can change the outcome all by yourself? Dream on!”
“The big shot known as Lone Wolf from the Northwest War Zone is already on his way here. Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon.”
“When that happens, it will be the moment your entire Ye family is completely wiped out!”
At this moment, Liu Qingyang finally understood that coming to find Ye Fan ahead of time today had been a mistake.
There was probably no chance for him to escape anymore.
Since that was the case, Liu Qingyang simply adopted the attitude of someone who had nothing left to fear.
“Even if I know some secrets, I’ll never tell you!”
“Just obediently wait for death!”
“Hahaha!”
“After you die, those sister-in-law wives of yours will be pitiful.”
“There will definitely be plenty of men taking turns to ‘love’ them!”
Pfft!
Ye Fan suddenly attacked.
“Seven-Star Soul-Extinguishing Claw!”
This was a secret technique contained within the Dragon-patterned Ring.
It could use internal force to control spiritual energy, penetrate deep into the target’s mind, invade their thoughts, and suppress and torment them on a soul level.
“Ah!”
As Ye Fan circulated his internal force, Liu Qingyang instantly felt as though his head was about to explode.
“You... What are you doing to me?”
“Ugh... ugh...”
Why did it hurt so much?
Liu Qingyang looked at Ye Fan in disbelief.
It felt as though someone were digging into his brain with a knife.
It was also as if a dagger were scraping away his bones.
The pain that penetrated directly into his soul caused Liu Qingyang’s consciousness to gradually become scattered, and he began to sink into darkness.
“Now, speak.”
“Who is behind the Liu family besides the Zhou family of Shangjing?”
“What exactly are they trying to accomplish by attacking the Ye family?”
Ye Fan rarely used the Seven-Star Soul-Extinguishing Claw.
But he had used it several times before, and almost no one had been able to resist it.
Liu Qingyang was no exception!
“As for the others involved in the attack, I don’t know.”
“But the Liu family in the provincial capital and my Liu family were involved!”
“The person who contacted us was Captain Chu Feng from the Northwest War Zone.”
“As for who exactly he belongs to, we don’t know.”
“But he definitely comes from the military!”
“As for Young Master Zhou from Shangjing, he isn’t actually from that Zhou family in Shangjing.”
“However, there seems to be another extremely powerful organization behind him.”
“It’s called the Holy Envoy Organization...”
“What they are searching for is a map...”
Liu Qingyang’s position was considerably higher than that of Li Zhong and Qin Yao, so the information he knew was much more detailed.
At the very least, Ye Fan now knew that the forces behind the attack on the Ye family were not a single faction.
On one side was the military.
On the other was the Holy Envoy Organization.
They had probably joined forces because of certain interests and launched their attacks simultaneously.
That was why they had been able to destroy the Ye family in a single strike!
The breakthrough point on the military side was Chu Feng.
As for the Holy Envoy Organization, Young Master Zhou was the ultimate breakthrough point.
Dealing with them could wait until later.
For now, the person who had killed his second brother had to pay the price first.
Pfft! Pfft!
Ye Fan released waves of internal force from his hands, destroying all of Liu Qingyang’s meridians.
Only then did he release Liu Qingyang from the effects of the Seven-Star Soul-Extinguishing Claw, allowing him to regain consciousness.
“Ah...”
The piercing pain from his bones and meridians made Liu Qingyang feel as though he would rather die than live.
He screamed loudly.
“Kill me...”
“Ye Fan, if you have the guts, kill me!”
Ye Fan’s mouth twitched slightly.
“I really do want to kill you.”
“But there is someone who wants to kill you even more than I do...”
“So your life will be handed over to him.”
As he spoke, Ye Fan picked up a dagger from the ground.
He turned around and handed it to Liu Wuyang, who was still somewhat stunned.
“Young Master Liu, take your revenge.”
After witnessing Ye Fan’s methods just now, Liu Wuyang’s pupils could not help but widen in shock.
The Young Master Ye before him truly was a monstrous genius!
Even after awakening, he was still just as terrifying as ever!
“Okay!”
“Thank you!”
Liu Wuyang did not hesitate.
He took the dagger from Ye Fan’s hand.
After waving it twice in front of Liu Qingyang, he stepped toward him.
“You... Liu Wuyang, what are you trying to do?”
“We... we’re brothers!”
“You can’t kill me!”
When Liu Qingyang faced Ye Fan, he had not been afraid of death.
But when he faced Liu Wuyang, he was terrified!
Liu Wuyang had been a worthless person whom Liu Qingyang had bullied ever since childhood.
So why was this same person now standing high above him, with the power to decide his fate?
“Brothers?”
“Hmph!”
“Liu Qingyang, do you have no shame?”
“What happened to your conscience?”
“Did you feed it to the dogs?”
“When you killed my mother back then, why didn’t you think about the fact that we were brothers?”
Liu Wuyang had endured and hidden his hatred for so many years.
He was certainly not someone who could be easily bullied.
With Liu Wuyang standing right in front of him, he did not hesitate.
He plunged the dagger viciously into Liu Qingyang’s chest.
Pfft!
A huge hole immediately appeared in Liu Qingyang’s chest.
Blood flowed from the wound, staining most of his clothes red.
Huff... huff...
“You... you’re really doing this...”
Liu Qingyang stared at Liu Wuyang in disbelief.
“If you kill me like this, Father won’t let you off!”
“Hurry up and stop!”
In truth, Liu Qingyang knew that none of his attempts to persuade Liu Wuyang would have any effect.
From the moment Liu Wuyang had arranged for someone to switch the acquisition contracts, he had already firmly chosen Ye Fan.
He had already decided to take Liu Qingyang’s life.
Liu Qingyang was merely trying to grasp at the last straw that might save him.
“Hmph!”
“Father?”
“Does he deserve to be called a father?”
“Big Brother, don’t be in such a hurry.”
“Go down first and apologize to my mother.”
“Very soon, I’ll send him down too, and make him kneel before my mother...”
Pfft!
“This stab is revenge for the time you urinated on my head!”
Pfft!
“This stab is for the time you made me fight a wolfhound for food!”
Pfft!
“This stab is for the time you rode on my neck and, on a day when the temperature was ten degrees below zero, made me crawl through a cesspit!”
...
No one knew how many times Liu Wuyang stabbed him.
In the end, Liu Qingyang had become like a sieve.
There was not a single patch of intact flesh left on his body.
“Young Master Liu, that’s enough.”
Seeing that Liu Qingyang was already completely dead, Ye Fan reached out and patted Liu Wuyang on the shoulder.
Only then did Liu Wuyang come back to his senses from his grief.
He immediately knelt on the ground.
Facing the direction of the provincial capital, he heavily kowtowed three times.
“Mom!”
“Did you see that?”
“I avenged you...”
“The person who killed you back then has already been killed by me.”
“Tonight, I can finally sleep peacefully!”
All these years, Liu Wuyang had awakened from his dreams in terror almost every night.
Whenever he fell asleep, the scene of his mother being strangled to death by Liu Qingyang would appear before his eyes.
But now, Liu Qingyang had finally gone to meet the King of Hell.
Liu Wuyang had finally been able to let go of the burden that had tormented him for so many years.
“Family Head Xia, you recorded the video properly, right?”
Ye Fan asked Xia Hao.
Xia Hao opened the video on his phone.
It showed Ye Fan holding the dagger and gesturing toward Liu Qingyang’s body just moments earlier.
When combined with the footage of Liu Qingyang’s death afterward, anyone who watched it would naturally believe that Ye Fan had killed Liu Qingyang.
“Young Master Ye, but Liu Qingyang was clearly killed by me.”
“If you do this...”
Ye Fan calmly interrupted him.
“Actually, from the moment Liu Qingyang went to the Su family celebration banquet and caused trouble, the instant I made a move against him, he was already dead.”
“What happened just now was merely me leaving him his last breath so that you could take your revenge.”
“Besides, if we announce to the outside world that you were the one who killed Liu Qingyang, do you have enough strength to withstand the Liu family’s revenge?”
“Especially the people on Liu Qingyang’s maternal grandfather’s side.”
“Can you withstand their retaliation?”
Ye Fan stared intently at Liu Wuyang.
“You spent so much effort and offered me so many pledges of allegiance just to come find me.”
“Wasn’t this exactly what you were counting on?”
